Army and Sheriff's Department team up

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department is to sign an agreement Tuesday with the U.S. Army under which it will agree to hire qualified soldiers as part of a program between the Army and U.S. employers.

The Army developed the Partnership for Youth Success Program to attract recruits by helping them get jobs after their military service.

Army recruits participating in the program will be trained in the military for various jobs, including those in law enforcement.

Recruits will agree to interview with the Sheriff's Department after their military service.
